El orador subraya que el derecho a la vida, y la libertad de religión o de creencia, así como el respeto al patrimonio religioso y cultural son valores fundamentales y deplora que, todavía en numerosos países, la libertad de culto sea reprimida o restringida a una sola religión, o incluso que la religión sea denigrada en nombre del “pensamiento moderno”.
